Portrait Painting

Custom-Made Portrait Painting

From a joint dialogue I create a background with connections, I approach the work as before sewing and laying out a cut, looking at the
pages of old books, planning and seeking to deplete treasures, songs and drawings, from the embroidered discourse I dive into the books to
more and more layers concerning your world and you.
The use of known and present material in every home for a basic sense of closeness and the use of texts detailing the capillaries of emotion,
these form the background for a commissioned work.

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”

Vincent Van Gogh

I felt like opening in books.
Everything flowed to me from the pile of books. Book after book, uncovered which do not hint at their contents and here the page I opened was relevant to drawing. I felt like the 'book opener': when I searched for 'compass' I found 'compass - make it yourself', how suitable for the family spirit, when I aimed for 'bud' - everything was about a sign of renewal, growth and blossoming, when I wanted 'spring' - songs flowed to me from the sources From the best poets and when I pulled out a pile of maps - the first was a map of their hometown - Bull. I realized that some hidden compass was leading me to put the puzzle together, so I just continued meditatively and the pages flowed to me, I was just worried about the composition {and mostly pasting without wrinkles} When I also finished painting above, Ayelet noticed that one of the background paintings is the drawing on Oded's tombstone, what's the chance, huh? We got excited and yes, we cried a little too.
